Can I put my herbal supplements in the refrigerator?

Question

Oh my lands!!!!! It is soooo hot today, it is 94 degrees inside my apt (no AC). I am worried about my herbal supplements, I have around 100 dollars worth of them that I have been taking (includes kelp, an adrenal formula, acidophilus and a yeast cleanse package)!

Should I put them in the refrigerator for now (or permanently?) Is it safe? I don't know what to do - please help! Thanks so much.

Answer 1

There are some isolated exceptions and apparently green superfoods such as alfalfa, barley grass, wheat grass, chlorella and spirulina in the form of powders or tablets are supposed to be stored at room temperature.  Colloidal silver is another one.

All the ones that you have mentioned (with the possible exception of kelp) are probably better in the fridge.  Kelp I am not sure as that may perhaps be better at room temperature like the green superfoods that I have mentioned so you might perhaps want to do some research on that.

Answer 2

Yes actually do put them in the fridge. Too much heat can cause spoilage. It is safe to keep them in there permantely if you would like.
